And today in his clinic on the island of Kyushu (Japan), due to effectiveness of Cryotherapy treatment, various problems are treated, such as rheumatoid arthritis, coxarthrosis, rheumatism, various arthrosis - arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis at 80% success rate. From 100% infirm, not moving the patients themselves have become a burden to their families, 80% out of the hospital are back on their feet. Toshima Yamauchi found out that in the context of Cryotherapy in the blood of patients the concentration of anti-rheumatic hormones has increased. That is, the body on its own, provides harmless medication for joints, which, unfortunately, pharmacologists were not able to create.
